Yom Kippur Will Be Celebrated Sunday Evening, Sept 23
Is The Culmination of The Peni¬ tential Days InaujvUratGd By The Jewish New Year
REPENTANCE AND CONTRI¬ TION ARE THB DOMI¬ NANT FEATURES OF THE DAY
The Day of Judgment
By A. METCHNICK
On Sunday evening, September. 23, l!>28, the. Jewish people will begin its celebration of thc Day of Atonement, called in Hebrew ''Yom Kippur." At sundown the chanting of the traditional , melody of Kol Nidre will usher in the great White Fast, which lasts; from eve¬ ning to evpning. ,
Tins is the most solemn and sacred
¦ day of the Jewish calendar, and is ob¬ served by all Jews witli fasting, prayer, and meditation. ¦
Sabbath of Sabbaths In several passages the Bible refers to this Holy Day as the Sabbath of Sabbaths.! In,tlie dayswhcn the Temple stood in Jerusalem and Israel dwelt in Palestine, the olTering of special sacri^ ficcs comprised the chief ceremonial of this day. The purpose of air that sao rificial potnp detailed in Leviticus XVI was to bring man to atone for his sins- The High Priest recited a confession of the sins and transgressions of the whole nation which impressed the'wor¬ shippers present with awe and revei"- ence. The Lcvitcs sounded the trum¬ pets; the , people prostrated tliem-^ selves; and the priests invoked the God. of Mercy for forgiveness. But the rhost solemn moment of the day caine when all alohc the High Priest entered the .Holy pf Holies and uttered there a short prayer.
Changed Quite Hadicatfy"-*—. With the destruction of the Temple and the exile of the Jewish people, the procedure of the observance, of Ibis Holy Day changed quite radically, but the significance of t'le Day of Atone¬ ment grew ill meaning ahd value to Jewish life. The altar fell; the High Priest' was no ' more; but the idea of this day survive<l throughout thi; last two thousand years as-; most solemn and sacred, Prayers and meditations replaced the salcrifices. According to- Jewish, tradition, God sealed the fate oi
. every, creature on this day, 'for it was the. culmination of the penitential, pe-
, rinti \vhich the New Year's Day ushers ill. Hence, the Rabbjs made repent-' ance and contritioil pic dominant fea-
' tures of the day.
Purpose of Judaism This idea of. retrospection and ih-
. trospection underlying ' the Day of Atonement ever struck a, sounding chord within, the heart of the Jew, and from year lo year serves to reawaken
¦ within him. the purpose. of Judaism.
Its nicssnyc leaps over the bounds of the deiidniinational and bears its sig¬ nificance, to, the world at large.
In cnntra-distinction to all other feasts and holulays Rosh Hashaimli and Yom Kippnr arc supplemented with the ap¬ pellation of High or Solemn Holidays. And, remarkable, this not being the Scriptural immc of it *(thc Scriptural name of Unsh; Hashanah is: Thc Day of thc Sounding of the Cornet), still it has been saiictiticd and adopted by the Jews all over the world. Even thnsci who arc not so strict with the ob.'serv- ancc of the other holidays and do liot come to their services, approach this holi¬ day with a, feeling of solemnity. The synagogs and temple; are overcrowded vviili worshipers who come to attend the services of this particular day.
Tn searching for thc cause of it,. wc find two rea.'inns which point to the ex¬ planation of this peculiarity. First, the fact of its .being tlie beginnine of the .new year; second, the tradition of. its being the Day of Juclgment., These too are the comments of a much later epoch, long after thc Jews have lo-st their po¬ litical and national independence. Evi¬ dently, the importance attributed to this holiday aiid the istrict enforcement of its observance;, was necessary as a means to pre.<ierve and strengthen the Jewish spirit in the exile. The Jewish people with their salubrious instinct have com¬ prehended the importance of it and have given it tiic proper sanction which, by tradition of generations, \vas handed down to us.
A Question "
What' constitutes the importance of this day? The mere fact of its'being the first of the new year could hot have given it such a significance. We note that with other nations New Year's Day is not obs(irved as a day of solemnity but rather as a day of gaiety and fri¬ volity.' We, therefore, must apprehend its iniportaiice in the fact of its falling together with tbe Day of Judgment. In this day, as interpreted by our sages, our deeds and actions of the past year arc weighed, measured and. given the' proper estimation, .and we are to be awarded accordingly. Aii extension of ten days is granted to us to clear our records, make goad pur faults and make our good resolutions for the coming year. Have w;e done so, wc have a right' to hope for the assignment of a happy and prosperous year to come.
This, indeed, is thc most wonderful interpretation given to the feast of New Year's Day. After a - year of hustle- bustle, of agitation and tumult, we, fi¬ nally, arriye to a point where we must come to a halt, look around and find out whether we arc on the right path; whether the road we have taken is lead¬ ing us to our proper destination. When we find that we have gone astray, we inust use our, best judgment (for this is the Day of. Jucjguicnt). to get out of
JEWISH SERVICES HELD AT OHIO STATE PENITEN¬ TIARY
our perplexity; . We must carefully read thc road signs to find out the right di¬ rection that leads to our religious and national wholespinencis on.which our ex istence depends. .
Important Factor
Thc most important factor in thc pres ervation. of our religious and national wholesomcncss is our youth. 'Uiis is the most significant sign which wc should give" our utntost attention. It is thc compass by which wc are able to find out whether we. are steering or drifting If the,compass is in good shape and order, vve can hope to guide our ship safely to port, otherwise wc art, in great clanger to be carried, off and lost in strange and unknown waters.
Our .ancestors thoroughly coniptc bended it. We find that Yom Kippur, thc day called "the Holy of the Holiest," had been designated as a Eu.stivnl of the Jew¬ ish youth. In that day, the youth, male and, female, assembled in the vine\.irds; attired iir national costumes, pla>ing na tional gaiiics, dancing national dinccs and singing national songs. At that occasion a great mmiber of happy matches cailie into being.
A proper occasion at the.most proper time. Indeed, Yom Kippur (s the most proper day when our youth should be put to trial to find out its trend and its national aspirations,
A Similar Festival
A similar festival arranged by and for the Jewish youth took place on the fifteenth day of the-month of Ab It occurred,in about a week after Tishah B'Ab (the ninth day in'Ab), the day of mourning and vailing the destruction of our Holy Temple (both the first and second) and the loss of our national in¬ dependence. The festival of thc youth, the plays and songs in, which they have expressed their national aspirations, was the tonic that strengthened the spirit of the Jewish people and inspired them with the hope for a better and brighter future. Our Talmudic sages, in tiling those incidents,express themselves in the following words: "There was not as great a feast in Israel, as Yom Kippur and the Fifteenth of Ab." The reason is clearly understood: it was the feast of the nationally Inspired youth
This is the meaning and signifiLance of our High Holidays. It :is the time when JewLsh parents should look around and fiiid out if their children are carrying in theni the seed^ of the Jewish hope, if they too can aspire the Jewish people to hope and .wait for a better future, a future of religious and national whole someiiess.
Every Jewish child must and .should carry in it those seeds; they must and should be plant&l in them bj providing them with a thorough and bvstematic Jewish education..

He proceeds —^Thc wheat-laden fields of the ISO new Jewish villages in thc Ukraine and Crimea are teeming with a new-born energy, thanks to the promise of Americ m Jewry In the hearts of all forward-looking Jews in America there stirs a" new-born pride in the promise of a powerful Jewish agricultural class This promise is not speculative in tharaettr Tbe 180,000 Jewish farm¬ ers m Russja stand back of it.
